homes they’d searched or they’d get a hell of a lot more than just a slap on the wrist. But surely it couldn’t be—
“Not Lutterworth?”
“Yes, Lutterworth. He must have decided to stop risking his own skin and has accessorized his business with teenagers. They do the risky stuff, prove themselves to him, and then he gets them to steal things he wants and can resell for a lot of money. The kids do all the work, take all the risk, and he pays them peanuts and massages their egos. He makes the real money with none of the risk.”
“Well hell. How are we going to take him down?”
“I feel quite sure that sooner or later an agency will hire us to retrieve some items. Or maybe just to get photographic evidence. But it hasn’t happened yet, so we need to keep quiet that we’re onto him.”
“Yes, sir. So what do I tell the preacher?”
“Hmm. Maybe just that Lutterworth has a new job?”
Vallen grinned. “And he seems to be settling in well and is happy in it. We’ll do our best to unsettle him and make him unhappy as soon as we can.”
The Alpha snorted. “Precisely.”
Vallen knew his interview was at an end. “Thank you, sir.”
He left the door open as he exited and walked slowly back upstairs. Now it was time to gather his brothers and plan a date and a dungeon scene with Zoe. But neither Diego nor Monty was in the apartment. Sighing, Vallen texted them both and then put the coffee pot on to heat. He opened the refrigerator, but it was clear none of them had been shopping recently. That was just something else they needed to do.
He texted Monty again and asked him to collect some snacks for them from the little cafe on the first floor.
The three of them munched on pizza, drank coffee, and brainstormed for more than half an hour. That was the best part of being family. Vallen knew how his brothers thought. He understood what drove them and what inspired them. But they were still all individuals and came up with unique ideas. Finally, they decided taking Zoe out to dinner was the best way to do business. It was an unexceptional activity that no parent could object to, yet it gave them both time and opportunity for a dungeon scene and sex.
“We could go to the BDSM club for an early dinner and watch the early show. Then we could use one of the dungeons there to put into practice what we’ve seen,” he suggested.
“That’ll mean leaving our planning of the scene very open though because we won’t know what the show is about. I’d rather have the outlines of the scene planned first,” said Monty.
“We could do that. Plan what we want to do but leave space in it for the addition of an extra element or two from the stage show,” said Diego.
“I like that idea. We need to include toys at the start of the dungeon time, though, if we’re to all penetrate her again. And lots of lube,” added Monty.
“I agree about the toys and lube. It’s also time to explain to her that condoms are unnecessary. I want to fuck her bareback,” added Diego.
Vallen shook his head. He couldn’t see her agreeing. “She was the one who insisted on condoms, and since Maia is already expecting a baby, I don’t think Zoe’ll agree to fuck bareback. Although I know how you feel. I wish we could all be inside her without the raincoat as well.”
“We know she’s not going to agree. I think we need to man up and anticipate wearing latex for a long time yet,” said Monty.
Vallen was certain Monty was right. He wasn’t thrilled about that, but she had to be content with the program. And if that meant condoms, he’d wear them, even though he hated not being naked inside her.
“About the meal. I think we know her well enough to choose her food and drink. We can use it as a little BDSM exercise by not letting her speak and by maybe pushing her boundaries a little. What do you think?” asked Vallen.
“I like that idea.” Diego grinned, and Vallen knew he’d already be planning Zoe’s meal choices. He
